Chicken Satay Meatball Recipe – Low Carb and Gluten Free

I know you’re probably sick to death of poultry right now, but I promise that these low carb meatballs in no way resemble anything related to a traditional turkey dinner!

Tender and flavorful, the ground chicken (or turkey) is seasoned with ginger, chilis, and garam masala (among other things.) Then the meatballs are baked and slathered in this highly addicting low carb satay sauce.

A little spicy and a lot delicious, these silky meatballs are both comforting and exciting to eat. If you enjoy Thai flavors you are going to love this recipe!

I ate these cold out of the fridge the next day and they were STILL fantastic! That’s when you know a recipe is good people!!! BTW am I the only one who eats random things cold out of the fridge for breakfast the next day? Inquiring minds want to know (ie. how crazy am I on a scale of 1 to 10?)

The satay sauce can be made with either peanut butter or almond butter depending on your dietary/allergy requirements. I’ve tried it both ways and it’s equally scrumptious with either.

You can also use this sauce as a fun twist on salad dressing, or for these braided chicken skewers which can be baked or grilled according to your preference!

These low carb and gluten free meatballs are perfect for a party appetizer, snack, or even as a main dish. To make them into a complete meal try serving them alongside some tandoori cauliflower and spicy sriracha roasted broccoli![pinterest text=”Chicken Satay Meatballs – a low carb and gluten free meatball recipe from I Breathe Im Hungry!” layout=”horizontal” image=”http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/satayballs2small-491×700.jpg”]

Serve garnished with chopped cilantro and chopped peanuts or almonds depending on which you are using for the sauce.

Instructions

For the Meatballs:

Combine all of the meatball ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly. Form into 16 meatballs and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees (F) for 15 minutes, or until cooked through. Toss gently in the satay sauce and serve warm garnished with chopped cilantro and toasted peanuts or almonds.

Thanks for reminding me how much I love satay, and as you say the sauce can be eaten with just about anything, so I always hope to make a little more than I really need. Lovely recipes, and your photos really show beautifully. Thanks for bringing them to the party! http://tasteusa.blogspot.com

In cooking for the week last night, This is one of the recipes I made. The meatballs by themselves are delicious. The sauce has good flavor but I think next time I will eliminate the xantham gum. It gave the sauce a bit of a slimy texture.

I don’t see why not! Possibly use a little less xanthan gum (or none at all) in the sauce so that it doesn’t get too thick while sitting, otherwise this would be a perfect recipe to keep warm in the crockpot! Hope they are a hit at your potluck!

Cold “leftovers” retrieved from the fridge are OFTEN go-to brekkies or quick lunch fare for me!..No…YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! Hee…

This looks positively scrumptious…and a warming, “saucy” affair that begs to be concocted! I have some garam masala just waiting for this treatment. HOW do you manage to be so consistently creative in the culinary department with the mad rush of the holidays upon us?! I am so impressed and extremely grateful for your answers to my perpetual self-question of “What Do I Make For Dinner?!” quandaries. Thank you!

Thanks for validating my crazy cold breakfast habit Donna! ha ha! Happy to help you figure out what to make for dinner! So far the meatball ideas just keep coming, but I wonder if one day I’ll get meatball block. Time will tell! ;)
